TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 19, 2012 – The 2013 Toyota Avalon Limited will be the first vehicle available in the world that offers in-console Qi wireless charging for Qi–enabled mobile phones and devices as part of a Technology Package, available for both the gasoline and hybrid version of the new Avalon Limited, which also includes Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High beams and a Pre-Collision System.
Qi is the global standard for wireless power and charging. With Qi, devices can be charged just by placing them on, or near, any Qi-enabled surface. Any Qi-enabled device works with any Qi charger, regardless of brand or manufacturer.
The Avalon’s wireless charging pad is integrated into the ebinŽ lid situated in vehicle’s center console. The system can be enabled by a switch beneath the lid, and charging is as simple as placing the phone upon the lid’s high-friction surface.

Hi Spywolf. Thanks for your find.
However the title of your thread didn't mention which car has this new technology. I think you missed out the word "Avalon".
Nonetheless, great forward thinking by the creators of the Avalon (probably American designers). I wish the new Lexus models have these. Seems like the US design team are more forward thinking than the Japan-based designers in Toyota/Lexus

You can get receiver and install it in the phone by yourself without getting the sleeve, but it's not worth it IMO. Better get WP8 or new JellyBeans/Key Lime Pie for this feature.
